I think I like this Spike that doesn't lay all his feelings and thoughts out for Buffy's perusal. He's definitely a healthier person, and I like that she's trying to get used to the world as it is.

Interesting for Buffy to be seen as the evil one. Can't wait for the trial.

spike has a plan, how reassuring. very good read, thank you.

Can't wait to see what he's got up he's sleeve! Xander couldn't let go even after thirty years, how sad. This is a very different Spike. Her disappearence had a profound affect on him. thanks for updating, very nervous for her. Looking forward to more.

Great new chapter. And with a chilling finish with that reminder of what Buffy is to many people. Can't wait to see what Spike's new plan is, though. :)

you made me cry... again. I want to give Buffy a hug and whop Spike over the head. Silly people.

Great chapter :)

A Spike who decides for himself....okay but we all know he is still a fool for love and that love is for Buffy. He can run but he can't hide.

Love this story and glad to see more of it. Looking forward to the trial and Spike's plan.

WOWZERS! Great chapter! I just love this story! I can't wait for the next update! Thank you!

Wouldn't be Buffy if there weren't self-doubt.

Think I know what Spike is up to.

oh man...well, now buffy is getting a taste of what it was like for spike, perhaps....great chapter, love the bonding going on beetween them...can't wait to see more, love :)

I was just thinking about this story today, how perfect was that? Glad to see the plan slowly coming together. I have a guess at what Spike's plan may be...
